I mean they do fine without it and those other races have their perks as well.

Although countless articles, wiki's, blogs, posts and such I've read have all agreed that making a Dark Elf Shadow Knight is not a good idea. Apparently they don't make great Shadow Knight tanks or some such. Which makes no sense to me honestly. Then why offer Shadow Knight to another other race other than Troll or Ogre?

I’ve had people send random tells to my Eru paladin asking if I regretted my race choice over a better stat one. I literally said, “I see a LOT of dark elf sk’s and they could have rolled Ogre.” Shuts them up quick.

I don’t think it’s a “bad” option though. Just a few hundred less hps and less than optimal melee stats. No slam (a case for a 1h/shield) or racial perk. Maybe a bit harder to solo but you are also not eating a 15% or 20% do penalty (far more on green). You gotta go with what makes you happy because the one constant in this game of pixel lust is you will be staring at your character a LOT.
